Drugs they prescribed that Part D paid

$7,486

Pharmacies billed $7,486 in 2024.

158 generic and 28 brand-name prescriptions · $7,486 in drug cost · 19 antibiotic prescriptions to 16 people.

Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.
